I just noticed that the McCain banner ad for contributions is for his "Compliance Fund". What the heck is a compliance fund?
Oh, wait- McCain was the co-author of some famous legislation on campaign finance reform. There was something about candidates who take public funds not being able to take more than a certain amount of private donations...
... a compliance fund is a "loophole".
Fucking hypocrite.

As compared to the hyprocrite that said he would only use public funds until it became clear that fundraising would do so much more for him...

Give me a reason. Why should I accept Rep. views as legit. Beyond their inherent personhood.
I try to be unbiased, but...
But fuck that. Palin is a fucking moron. So is anyone that supports her.
Yep, you too, Rygoth...

You realize that you wouldn't get to see any action if that happened, right? There's millions of people like me and Glaive who would yell, "Wolverines!", grab some guns, and go wandering around not finding any real Russians, but we would hold a field trial for that jerk that cut us off in traffic.

You guys can keep up with the sour grapes all you want, it doesn't change the fact that as far as qualifications go she is more qualified to be a president than Obama is, let alone be the VP. Keep the bashing up though, it amuses me on a pretty boring Saturday morning. I think Bidden was an ok pick for Obama, but would have preferred Richardson as I think he has a better handle on dealing with issues that we see here in the West. Really questioned the Palin pick for McCain at first, but after about a day I realized that it was a pretty inspired pick for a campaign that was in trouble. As far as calling me a moron goes, try that irl Mr. Internet Tough Guy ;D

I can understand why people enjoy all the mudslinging that goes on in politics, but really, I'm won't be voting McCain/Palin simply because I don't like their policies, in general, as much as Obama/Biden's.
Simple as that.

Simple as that. Which is exactly how you should vote. Vote on issues with substance not personality. In the run up, I caucased for Obama because I preferred him to Clinton based on policies. Presidentially, I will vote McCain/Palin over Obama/Bidden because I prefer their policies and proposals. There is never a perfect candidate, but as I've said tongue in cheek, McCain/Palin are 2% less evil.

I wish Russia would invade America. Darkchild I used to wish that back when I still played with GIJOE. But it simply wouldn't be as awesome as Red Dawn or World in Conflict make it seem. It would be missiles passing in near orbit, MOAB's dropped from 10,000 feet so the cellphone video is clear enough to see on Youtube, bodycounts in the millions, and seas of molten glass. Then later, irradiated zombies scratching on your shelter door, and the Geiger counter ticking like a clock designed by a madman. Actually, that sounds pretty fucking cool. Imma gonna put a bag of flaming dog poop on Putin's front stoop with "Dubya says eat a dick" written in red crayon!

Quick bit of trivia: Walter Sobchak from "The Big Lebowski" was based on the guy who wrote "Red Dawn", perhaps the finest Patrick Swayze/Jean Grey AND Jean Grey/Charlie Sheen movie evar.

John Milius. He wrote the first Conan movie, too. John Goodman looks just like him in TBL.

Palin being more experienced than Biden is the biggest load of shit i've ever heard, right after obama being qualified...
God that's a sad thought...

I heard that she's Treasure Type S, while Biden is Treasure Type Z.
